Whisked :: Santa Cruz

It’s easy to be whisked when you live in a place where you can drive a few hours in any direction and be in a completely different, vacation-like setting pretty quickly. This past weekend we did just that and enjoyed a mini getaway to Santa Cruz, home of FRIED Oreos, all the carnie food you can eat, The Big Dipper (and other rides that take you back to being twelve again), and beach and boardwalk for miles and miles.

All of this Santa Cruz delight plus the sunny beach, a charming small town with B&B’s and yummy food and lots of very cool boutiques make this the perfect fix for wanderlusters.
